16v Cutting Out Above 4K (WOT)



Where is the FPR at, I'd like to check mine being I am replacing both fuel
pumps and the fuel filter.

Following a lead from a guy on the Vortex, I pulled the vacuum line to the
FPR and it smells like gas.  This indicates that the diaphragm is failing
and gas is getting through.  I'll get a new one and hope it solves the
problem.  My WOT switch tests fine, BTW.

Thanks for the lead.
